The Power of the Love Story: Empowering Teens Through Literature
Who can resist a good love story? Stories bring us together, take us on adventures and help us evaluate ourselves – who we are and who we want to be. Stories give us 'roots and wings'.
Director of Outreach and former literature teacher of 15 years, Dixie Zittlow, shares "The Power of the Love Story." Hear how the literature based anthology, The Art of Loving Well, serves as an excellent tool for teaching healthy relationship education in a creative and powerful manner.
The Art of Loving Well: A Character Education Curriculum for Today's Teenagers is a nationally acclaimed, relationship skills curriculum from Boston University that teaches healthy relationship skills to youth. From short stories, poems, essays, folk tales, and myths, teachers empower students to connect ideas in literature to choices in real life and build the skills necessary to achieve healthy relationships. You will find it fits into any "teaching" environment!
